  • Megara is a recent addition to my middle eastern fragrance collection and I have been curious about this Maison Alhambra perfume, which is a clone of Orto Parisi Megamare, for some time. In this video I cover everything about Maison Alhambra Megara from the presentation, notes, scent profile, performance, and occasions where this middle eastern clone fragrance can be worn.

    Great review of something that I don't think I've even scrolled past before. $35 for 50 ml is on the high side for Alhambra but it actually sounds like a safer blind buy than if it came in a 75 or 100 ml for say $50-$60ish.

    First of all mad props to your reviews. I discovered your channel about a month ago and been binging your reviews since! I've been wearing this one for about 2 weeks now as I discovered it looking for a clone or inspiration of Heeleys Sel Marin. I know this is nowhere near that fragrance but it's in the same kind of vein of salt water green aquatic as that and maybe Tom Ford's Oud Minerale. I'm personally loving it but would love to hear if you had any recommendations on fragrances similar to the other two I just mentioned.

    • @PostCologne
      @PostCologne  Před rokem +1

      Thanks William, appreciate that. Never smelled Sel Martin. I've heard Dua has a decent clone of oud minerale, but haven't tried it yet. Can't help you much as of now. Will keep my eyes out though 👍

    1- mousuf ramadi by ard al zaafaran. For me this fragrance reminds me of Armani Code Giorgio Armani EDT
    2- Mousuf by Ard Al Zaafaran.
    Longevity of both is between 6h and 8h

    Freaking cool, man! Megamare is an absolute beast, as most of OP's fragrances are. My personal favorite is Terroni but Megamare is amazing. This sounds a little watered down but that's fine, Megamare is very harsh and briny, probably the strongest aquatic I know. If they make clones of Terroni, Viride and Bergamask I'm going to flip my lid. Just skip Stercus... please. Lol.

      I'm quite surprised about his assessment of the performance. Two of my friends wore Megara the other weekend (both are 2 to 3 sprays kind of guys) and I could definitely smell them from quite a distance for the entire night - and this was in an outdoor setting, mind you.
